fix(frontend): keep orphan tool messages visible (#3880)
* fix(frontend): keep orphan tool messages visible

LangGraph `messages-tuple` stream mode can emit tool-result events
out of order or replay them from subagent state (e.g. the bash subagent
under LocalSandboxProvider with allow_host_bash: true). When that
happens, the tool message arrives after a terminal assistant/human
group, so getMessageGroups' lastOpenGroup() returns null.

The previous behaviour was console.error + drop, which silently hid
the tool result from the UI - the user could not see the tool output
or tool-call records even though the agent executed the action
correctly (backend + Langfuse trace were both fine).

Fallback now attaches the orphan tool message to the most recent group
so the UI shows it. Adds a unit test that covers the orphan-tool path
and a duplicate-stream regression test.

* test(frontend): make orphan-tool replay test actually reach the fallback

The previous fixture was `human → ai(tool_calls) → tool → tool(replay)`
with no terminal group in between, so both tool messages hit the
unchanged happy path (`open.messages.push(...)`). Neither message was
an orphan, the new `else if (groups.length > 0)` fallback was never
exercised, and the `>= 1` length assertion was satisfied trivially by
t-1a alone.

Interleave a terminal assistant message between the original tool
result and the replayed one, so t-1b arrives when lastOpenGroup()
returns null. Now the strict assertion that t-1b is reachable can only
pass via the new fallback branch.

Review feedback from @willem-bd on PR #3880.

* fix(frontend): satisfy noUncheckedIndexedAccess in orphan-tool fallback

The fallback branch pushed into `groups[groups.length - 1].messages`
directly, which trips `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` under the project's
strict TS config and breaks lint-frontend, e2e-tests, and the
full-stack render CI layer.

Take `groups[groups.length - 1]` into a local `lastGroup` and check
for `undefined` explicitly. The `else if (groups.length > 0)` guard
becomes redundant once `lastGroup` is checked, so the branches are
folded into the outer `else` to keep the structure flat. Behavior is
unchanged: orphan tools still attach to the most recent group, and
the empty-groups diagnostic still logs at ERROR level.
